A Sneak Peek at the Next Baby Marines!

I had an ultrasound on Wednesday, and here is a photo of a photo from the appointment.  Everything looked great, and it looks like we are going to have another active one.  That is a little arm up by his or her head.  Even though, I can't feel any movement yet, this baby was kicking and twisting the whole time.  The heartbeat was 167.  Allison's was high like that too, so it heartbeats mean anything- maybe another girl???

Benson's a member of the Marines family too!

How could we forget about Benson!  Here are some pics after he came back from the groomers. All clean, trimmed and fluffy.  He always smells so good when he comes back.  Then the real challenge is keeping him from rolling in the grass and dirt.

Easter Number 2, Easter Number 1 and Shrine Circus Outing

Allison searching for eggs at our Greek Easter celebration on the 19th at Yia Yia's and Papou's in Saco. Allison made a new friend with Toby, cousin Elizabeth's and Chris's new puppy. 

She is quite a pro at searching for eggs now as her Easter holiday actually began  last week at home with a visit from the Easter bunny, then off to Nona's house.  The chilly, breezy day didn't keep Allison from searching for m+m filled eggs.  After each egg she picked up, she shook it first to make sure there was something in it.

Nona, Allison and I ventured off to the Shrine Circus today.  We were a little uncertain at first if Allison was going to like it, but after a little while she was clapping and laughing.  The tigers 

caught her interest right away, and so did the dancing poodles.  She was a bit weary of the clowns, and when they were dumping buckets of paint on each other, she 

said they were "naughty and were making a mess 

and should clean it up."

Easter Beauty

We took some pictures of Allison in her Easter dress.  Everyone will get a copy of one at 

Easter.

Allison Dressed and Ready To Go

Allison was getting ready before gymnastics.  She was showing her Ta-Da's. Allison sometimes gets her coat, hat and boots on herself when it is time to leave in the morning for day care. On Thursday morning, she picked up these sunglasses to add to her outfit.  

First Attempt at Creating This Blog

Hello Family and Friends,

   This is my first attempt at a blog, so hopefully I can keep it up.  Here is Allison posing for some practice pictures after bath time.  It was hard to take a photo where she wasn't making a funny face.
